    Trump extends lead in Michigan to 24k, not over yet!

    Some of the rural counties are still wrapping up counting there but the number of votes are miniscule compared to what's yet to come from Detroit.

    My friends from Detroit are saying it's very much Dem.

    Just checking, are your friends really from Detroit? Or is this like the fella overnight that posted local news about how he lived in a particular US city, and it was very pro Biden, they even had a local nickname for him etc.

    Then forgot he had done it and posted a near identical post but from a different city?

    Highlight of the entire election cycle.

    How in God's name is the trend towards Trump?

    He was up by a mile in Michigan and now almost level. At 10am (our time) he had a 5% lead, now its down to 0.2%.

    On a county basis he's ahead in all but one or two.

    Things have really changed in the past few hours. Will it switch again? Some of these posts ain't looking the wisest.

    You went to all that trouble quoting all those posts to make this wisecrack post after months of anti-trump posters here talking about a landslide for Biden when it was as clear as day nothing like that was ever going to happen.

    No, you don't understand the process. I'm not being smart. Most don't.



    If it comes to it, it ends up in the houses and they choose the President. They are not choosing who won the election. They are choosing the President. Most reasonable people would assume that they would try to implement the "will of the people" if it came to that. But they are under no obligation to do so!


    When a candidate concedes, then all these other steps become a formality and a rubber stamping. When there is no conceding - then you are in uncharted territory. Even when Fl went to the Supreme Court for Bush vs. Gore, once that judgement was announced, it was conceded.

    nonsense. concession is not required for the winner to take office.

    They genuinely thought everyone would just go for biden, even if he wins at this point itll be the smallest most hollow win for the democrats and primes the republicans to come back with a vengance in 2024.

    Is Detroit for Biden, would have put them in the Trump camp.

    It is, treating a place like it's from Mad Max doesn't make you more likely to vote for the guy.

    This alone demonstrates that putting such a large bet on something you seemingly know very little about probably wasn't the wisest decision.

    I didn't make my bet based on Detroit, thinking about it now can see why it would lean Dem with such a high unemployment rate.

    "Supreme Court will allow Pennsylvania to count mail ballots 3 days after Election Day

    The justices divided 4-4 Monday, an outcome that upholds a state Supreme Court ruling that allowed election officials to receive and count ballots until Nov. 6, even if they don't have a clear postmark."

    Not sure what means. Does it mean a date cannot be discerned? Can the postmark be missing altogether?

    Pennsilvania seems unlikely for Biden.
    60/40 split of remaining votes still has Trump winning by 250k.
    Using stats from CBS.

    Hillary got 80% of the post in votes in 2016. Reckon Trump might hang on but it will be very close.

    They've good reason to be disappointment. GOP Senate, thin House majority and a strong left wing faction in the party which will undermine him at every move. That's before you take into account that a large chunk of the population believe he will be an illegitimate president. It's not a recipe for getting much work done.

    The county numbers aren't important though it's overall vote for the state.
    Detroit has what 600k plus people?

    Fox news calling shenanigans and underhand tactics from Democrats - devastated at Trump's gains being wiped out in some states. Advocating legal action.

    I guess everyone and their dog knows Biden has it?

    I think Michigan is key and it's hard to see Trump hold it with something like 780k votes left to checked but it's going to be very tight I think

    I'm aware, but it does demonstrate that you didn't do much research before placing your large bet. I only have a casual interest in US politics but even I know that Detroit would very obviously not be for Trump.

    Like it or not folks, Donald Trump ain't going nowhere. He is going to harrange Joe Biden/Kamala Harris for the next 4 years. He'll either be setting it up for himself or Ivanka or the sons and theyll win. The support for Trump is passionate.

    The economy is going into the stink. Joe Biden will be under serious is pressure to avoid lockdowns.

    Policemen are still going to be killing black people. BLM/Antifa are going nowhere either and BLM are going to have to at some stage account for where all of that money has gone to. Black people are starting to move away from the Democrat party too.

    Biden will have to at some stage address his Ukraine and China links. He is in an accountable role now. A candidate is a free member of the public, available to answer or not answer any question he wants to. A President Can't. There will be a time when he has to address it.

    Kamala Harris is probably more unpopular than Hillary Clinton. That take a lot of going. She ain't winning an election in 2024 as the nominee.

    The fringe elements of the Democrat Party will elect a crazy to run in 2024. Biden won't last that Long. The Republicans will run a Trump.

    Donald Trump had the full arm of the media and Big Tech against him for 4 years and still managed to get 48% of the vote. It's remarkable what he achieved.

    All that has been won by the Democrats is a dumpster fire that will tear their party apart from over a decade. The Republicans are united under the Trumps.

    Even if Biden pulls off a miracle here with mail in votes and get's it past the supreme court he'll be a lame duck president from day one. The utter embarrassment of only squeaking past Trump despite having more money to campaign with, big media on his side, social media on his side, Hollywood on his side, Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis on his side etc... etc... and still only getting in by a hair is frankly pathetic.

    A disaster for the Democrats.

    Well the Republicans have their own problems.
    Urban voters are overwhelmingly Democrat.
    And urban areas are growing not shrinking like the hicksvilles where the majority Republican voters are.
    Voters in the 18-20 year group are mostly Democrat.
    Non white voters are majorily Democrat and non white population is growing.

    Only a moron, even though sometimes it seems it's an entry requirement for the Republican party looking at some of the outlandish comments from both supporters, members and representatives, would not worry about the trends.

    Where do Republicans go from here though? Remember all the high profile ones were originally vehemently opposed to Trump, said he wasn't fit for office. They changed their tune but now have to decide either to keep the cult alive or go back to more traditional conservatism and away from the bombast and cries of fake news.
